Notes
The fifth ˜paid to the lines" example, figure 11, is an ex-Stollnitz cover postmarked at Quebec and addressed to Thomas Lockwood at Detroit in the same handwriting as many Kennedy correspondence items. It has both a red crowned circle PAID/AT/QUEBEC and a double circle of July 29, 1850. It is rated in red manuscript 11½. A poorly struck red grid kills and barely ties the damaged 10¢ (or at least there is a smudge where a tie might be) and is used to strike out the PAID in the crowned circle. There is a red Montreal backstamp. This cover has been certificated as genuine according to the Alexander Census.
